All you really need to know for the moment is that the universe is a lot more complicated than you might think, even if you start from a position of thinking it's pretty damn complicated in the first place.

doglover:Smgth: If things Douglas Adams predicted start coming true, it's time to start drinking, because we are BONED and we are boned SOON.

/Luckily I have a thumb and I'll take the hottest chick with me. BIE/EIP//Srrsly tho, Adams is the greatest writer who ever lived.

Pratchett is better. Caroll was better. The English language is full of writers with a sense for the absurd. Adams is a peer: the Nobility of frivolity, capital N. But not the best.

differentI like Pratchett and Adams equally.

The Sandwich Maker, Dirk Gently, as good as anything that Pratchett has written. Pratchett has written more. Pratchett has also been losing it. Which has been sad.Caroll? Nothing wrong with oldie-timie. but meh

Losing Adams so young and with Pratchett losing his faculties so young PROVES the universe HATES funny. And if there are two funnier people, I've never read them.

elguerodiablo:Dinki: Geez Huge Meteors , near misses, and now this. We really are doomed.

Funk. I came here to say this. Russian asteroid attack and now this. The quickening is upon us.

Hooray! Doesn't this mean I don't have to pay those pesky credit card bills? I mean, the Mayan calendar was a bust, Hurricane Sandy missed me, the meteor hit the wrong side, the Yellowstone caldera is quiet, I need some hope here, people!
